when i was traveling through ecuador, there was a small japanese restaurant that only sold takoyaki on the sidewalk. it was so good. i ate it almost every day. i can't wait to travel to japan someday.
Would like to also recommend unagi-don or eel rice bowl, as well as gyoza or dumplings. They are cheap and there are tons of specialty restaurants serving them, and they are quite unique from a western standpoint. My last trip to Japan I also splurged on a really good wagyu teppanyaki place, probably not worth the price but the experience might be worth it for some people.
Very true, can never go wrong with gyōza! I like eel, but I'd rather avoid it since it tastes similar to brackwater fish in Norway which I have a problem with lol
When traveling with a child it was hard to eat at super nice places because he can't sit still, but my favorite was an okonomiyaki place in Hiroshima. There were only like 8 chairs. We went right when it opened and ate quickly to not hold up spots too much, but it was so delicious and the owner was so cool.
I'm back home right now. Coincidentally we were eating naans in an indian curry restaurant when this video had released. We ate sweet red beans paste naans as dessert. Likes anpan. It's extra order instead of refill. Because it's not on list of refills.
Can't believe you didn't mention スパゲッティナポリタン after all who doesn't like ketchup. Plus Indian food is good pretty much everywhere ate at a really great place in Peru. Nice list only 7 months to go better buy elastic band pants.
🍣🇯🇵 Oops, Emil, you missed the chance to showcase the culinary magic of Nattō in your must-try foods in Japan list! Let's "help" people discover the joy of those slimy, sticky, and oddly satisfying fermented soybeans! 🤣 Don't overlook this unique Japanese delight, everyone! Nattō, the unsung hero of the culinary adventure! 🍙💚 #NattoNation #FoodieFails #StickySituations
Personally I enjoyed eating Sushi the two times I've actually had it. But the yakiniku was the best shit that has ever touched my lips so far. Love Japanese BBQ!
When it comes to food, unfortunately, I am what you correctly call "a pussy". But you're inspiring me to "man up". Bring on the Octopus! (then back to a Big Mac)
Nobody ever mentions yakisoba, or yakitori. I doubt those people have even been to Japan. Kinda like how Marco Polo supposedly went to China and didn't mention a lot of trivial but surely odd (to a European) cultural details, like coins with holes in them. Or, maybe I was two years in a Japan simulator and nobody actually puts mung bean paste in a roll and calls it a dessert.
I categorize yakisoba as matsuri food, because paying a high price to sit on an uncomfortable rock and eating it out of a shitty plastic container with a similarly overpriced small Asahi is the way. You haven't lived unless you have some torikawa yakitori, that's for sure!
lol, the tenga advert synced up with "some for leisure" almost made me spit out my drink
Haha! I'm glad someone noticed 😂
Amazing video!!! Damn I miss good Takoyaki and Ramen, not much unlimited naan 😂
Thank you! 😂
I would definitely love it if you listed them in the description box as well as your favourite restaurants spots 🤗
On it!

That's the last place I'd expect to find a takoyaki stand lol
When I'm craving it I like to make monjayaki at home. I'll just cook it on the stovetop and stand as I scrape it off the frying pan.

Those small shops are the best, and usually they have yakisoba and yakiudon too!
Unlimited naan refill sounds awesome but dangerous lol. After that yakiniku presentation I got hungry again, eventhough I just ate my lunch 😅.
The free refill Naan in Japan had me and my wife pull over to have a nap in the car last year lol
@@JustAnotherJapanChannel yo I can imagine that 😂

Oh yeah, it's only the 'meal' and not 'desserts' unfortunately! Hope the meal was awesome!

I could make a whole vid about Wafu spaghetti lol. Indian food has a rep for being awesome everywhere for sure!
@JustAnotherJapanChannel , @southcoastinventors6583 Likes tarako spaghetti ?

I eat natto almost daily, but I've found that natto at breakfast joints have been not to my liking! I need mine with tkg and rayu with extra nori!
i had 20 chapatis at my first Indian homie sleepover.

Oh yes! I love sushi too, but after living here for a while, I enjoyed being able to choose how much rice to get in every bite!
Help. No free naan around Kansai, it seems.
I've had some in south Osaka, just north of Tennoji!

Can't believe you didn't mention curry; Kanazawa style is the bomb, and I'd gladly die defending this statement.
Guess I'm taking a trip to Kanazawa to try some dope curry! I'm a Hokkaido soup curry kind of guy
@@JustAnotherJapanChannel Please look for "go go curry" if you try Kanazawa style curry restaurants !
Tsukemen is the superior ramen.
Either that or butter miso ramen on a very cold Sapporo morning
